IE7 onclick and :active state
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Curiously, if you add an onclick event to an anchor in IE7, the anchor remains in the CSS :active state regardless of whether the javascript returns true or false. It’ll stay in this state untill you click on another element on the page.
e.g.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> a:active { background-color:red; } </style> </head> <body> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:return true;">Click me</a>
</body> </html>
